Why and how to plan a Survival Garden

Although
different people might have different definitions for what a ‘survival
garden’ would refer to, my definition is simply this: a garden from
which basic and substantive foodstuffs can be grown and harvested each
year, and from which seeds can be saved and replanted indefinitely.It isn’t necessary that one consider him or herself a ‘prepper’
to see the value in planting a survival garden. In fact, I’d say if
you’re going to grow a garden, it only makes sense to ensure that you
have several core crops that you can count on from year-to-year, just in

Remember how grandmother's cellar shelves were packed with jars of
tomato sauce and stewed tomatoes, pickled beets and cauliflower, and
pickles both sweet and dill? Learn how to save a summer day - in batches
- from the classic primer, now updated and rejacketed. Use the latest
inexpensive, time-saving techniques for drying, freezing, canning, and
pickling. Anyone can capture the delicate flavors of fresh foods for
year-round enjoyment and create a well-stocked pantry of fruits,
vegetables, herbs, meats, flavored vinegars, and seasonings. The Big
Book of Preserving the Harvest introduces the basic technique for all
preserving methods, with step-by-step illustration, informative charts
and tips throughout, and more than 150 recipes for the new or
experienced home preserver. Among the step-by-step tested recipes: Green
Chile Salsa, Tomato Leather, Spiced Pear Butter, Eggplant Caviar,
Blueberry Marmalade, Yellow Tomato Jam, Cranberry-Lime Curd, Preserved
Lemons, Chicken Liver Pate, and more.

L.C.>> I
had a dream last night where people were evacuated to shelters and was
not told what was happening, then the othe people were talking about a
meteor hitting and next i feel a huge rumble and everything was falling
but then it stoped and we looked for imformation on what really happend.
The military told us that almost the whole northern hemisphere was hit
by a meteor and was coverd with flames, then i relized my mom and
sisters live in the area of impacted thats when i woke up crying it
seemed so real and i hope none of us will have to go through that

Dreams
are keys. imo. That pain comes in many forms,, it's one thing soldiers
use to "hype up" if you will. We're not mindless robots with guns, lol
we feel feelings, but were trained how to rise above those feelings,
almost instantly. Use ...See More

I
agree with Tim. Dreams are your minds attempt to work through emotions
and stressors through the unconscious. Don't put too much stock into the
dream scenario. Just allow them to be an outlet. Also, as T.E. mentioned, do whatever you ...See More

Very true,
I found myself (upon joining,and watching the show) that I got WAY to
in depth Way too fast. I spent about a month on here ,and other groups,
and doin some mad googlin, (<odd sentence structure) I was stayin up
late,

I
had vivid dreams for awhile after joining the group, and troubled sleep
- it was overwhelming for me to read all the 'gloom 'n doom' and danger
- I had to drop back for awhile and re-focus. Some people are
sensitive to that sort of thing and need time to process. Best wishes to
you, L. C.

There could be a possibility
of the subject of your dream was influenced by the universal conscious
mind. It happens to me a lot. Getting worked up about things,
communicating with like minds on the subject and your brain naturally
has to work in out somehow. I find
myself waking up after vivid ones and doing a mental reset to get
straight. The interesting part, though, is when your communal
dream/vision then happens, this is weird the first time. I'd like to
say it gets easier. You kind of get used to it after a while. STAY
POSITIVE. Conquer the issues you have control over. Continue to help
people and move forward is my only advice

This may be veering a little
off-subject and I apologize if it is - let me know and I will remove the
post - but here goes: Nightmares plagued me for many years; mostly
re-living unhappy events. You can learn to control your dreams. I worked
with a very skilled tauist and learned how to control a lot of
body/mind functions that most people (including myself) typically
believe are our of our range. The human mind is amazing and we never use
1/100th of our true capacity

Aye, dream control is called
Lucid Dreaming. I can do it naturally (Hey Stan Lee) It can be very
useful. for instance, in high school I used to do my homework in my
sleep. They could never get how I could have semi good grades and no
work to turn in. lol Also you get to use
"Tools" of the brain that arent usually accesible. Like physics dont
apply tottaly, in dream land. so you can bend and use time/space to your
will,, IE using a 3rd person view of yourself, making 4+ images of the
same concept. And doing different work in each one, while processing and
staying current with each of your self's at the same time. :) I used
the ISS room at my school. Because the room is always quiet, theres no
decorations, just cubicle desks. So the scene is quiet and makes multi
processing easier.

good read, Tim! glad to see there are other people with this awareness

Funny
how I learned about it. lol I was a soldier and ( ya dont believe this
part as a female, but its true, LOL---) I was actually reading the
articles in Playboy. And they had a whole section on Lucid Dreaming.

Andre LegerI agree. Very, very effective tool of that computer we call a brain. Great discussion!

Yeah, Tim.... reading the articles... LOL (I really believe you, but this was toooo easy for me to pass up)LOL For realz!! haha When in the Desert and bored,, you startd counting the grains of sand,, lolol

Thanks, Andre - I am never sure any more what is okay here

Andre LegerThere
are plenty of cool headed folks in this group. It is possible to be
serious, share ideas, and learn w/o being negative or pushing legal
limits. I learn a lot here, THANKS ·

Tim,
do you think being in the military (somewhat isolated from your
familiar people/places and learning a new code of living) helped you see
the need for this learning and/or facilitated it? My family is all
military, in one fashion or another, and I see a lot of impact from the
military code/way of life

The
need for learning prepping or brain function? hehe My childhood
Diagnosis of ADHD, and being hooked to computers, moving the screen with
my mind, got me into other functional curiosities. :)

yeah, sorry - you have to be something of a mind reader to communicate with me

thanks for a great exchange, guys, and I apologize to Lane for hijacking his post ·

"The
Colony" is is on (Planet Green HD) in marathon. It started about twenty
minutes ago. It is the ones from 2009 but if you haven't seen them it
is fairly educational on rebuilding society after catastrophy. This show
was ahead of the curve on all the doomsday scenario show.

thanks for the heads up

Too bad I don't get Planet Green :(

awww i dont get that channel eighter but i can find it on the internet tho

Argh!! I forgot to set my DVR and I am still at work for 5 more hours! :(I think in their streaming video. But
it's the old ones like I said. They keep advertiseing that new ones
start tonight at 8pm but according to my t.v.schedule it's the same old
ones. 2009-2010. Maybe they mean it's new to their station? Who knows?
Oh well. Back to watching genious/idiot people attempt to survive. :) I
love this show but some of these people wouldn't last three days alone
they are sooo stupid.

Season 2 is going to be aired in marathon on saturday march 31'st at 3p.m. On planet green channel in hd.

there is no new Colony they didnt do season 3

you can watch it in netflix to

I tried finding a dvd on this but couldnt find it. Any one know if its avalble on dvd?

>Word
through the grapevine: a former US Special Forces member, who is now
working for the Montana Prison System, has said that "big government"
has instructed the prisons to be fully stocked and prepared to last for
at least 6mo. Supposedly, there will be an "Earth shattering" event
sometime between March 13th-23rd. Just as a heads up y'all. Be careful
out there and be prepared! Sources are credible.

>>>If your referring to J's
post she did say where she got the info, it is good info, people can
fear over it if they want or they can get those few items they might of
needed just a little sooner! I mean if I hear a storm is coming to a
certain area and it dont come am I fear mongering?

HAPPENING
NOW: A strong solar eruption lasting from 7:02pm-7:40pm ET is causing
an R3 (strong) radio blackout. An Earth-directed Coronal Mass Ejection
(CME) is likely. NOAA is monitoring the solar event to alert for impacts
to power grid, aviation, communications, GPS, and other critical
infrastructure.

The fed's and all other state
agencies lie to the people. Watching the video, how can all of those be
fires that start each day around the same time and end sometime during
the night? And they are happening in the same spots

Andre LegerHow
long before the pressure releases, 2 days? A month? This is quick,
seismic activity all over today esp. This has nothing to do with
Tornadic Activity or Sun Energy release. New Madrid is on a 125-150
year cycle. We're about right dead center of that timeline.....
